However, patients can still obtain the drug through some specific channels. This article will introduce in detail the purchase situation, purchasing methods and precautions for taking the budesonide sustained-release capsules in China.

Can budesonide sustained-release capsules be purchased in China

As of February 2025, it has not been officially launched in China, so it cannot be purchased directly in domestic pharmacies or hospital pharmacies. Mainly because new drugs need to go through multiple rounds of approval and clinical trials to ensure their safety, effectiveness and quality controllability. Although budesonide sustained-release capsules have been marketed abroad and widely used in clinical applications, they still need to meet a series of conditions and processes before being marketed in China.

Domestic launch process

The launch of new drugs is a complex and rigorous process, involving the cooperation and approval of multiple departments and agencies. In China, new drugs need to submit an application to the State Food and Drug Administration for marketing, and undergo technical review, on-site inspection and sampling inspection by the Drug Evaluation Center. In addition, clinical trials are needed to verify the safety and effectiveness of the drug. Since budesonide extended-release capsules have not yet completed the domestic approval process, they cannot be purchased directly in China.

Alternative drug selection

Although budesonide sustained-release capsules have not yet been launched in China, patients can still choose other alternative drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. There are a variety of drugs available in the domestic market for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, such as mesalazine, sulfasalazine, etc. These drugs have been approved and marketed domestically, and their safety and effectiveness are guaranteed. Patients should choose a treatment plan that suits them based on their condition and doctor’s advice.
